WWE 2K15 focuses on graphical quality and more realistic gameplay at the expense of some secondary modes. Solo experience is enriched but a reduced roster disappoints. A divisive entry that will appeal more to pure simulation fans.

A career following a wrestler from debut to crowning glory anchors the solo mode in length, extended by ever-deeper creation tools. Forging your grapplers, scripting rivalries and challenging the community online opens a well of content, and this year keeps its aura for the sheer breadth of its customization possibilities.
